Habit 6, Questioning for Understanding really stood out to me. In this section the author provided several questions that were categorized into 3 areas: bridge questions, during lesson questions and debrief questions. I was so impressed with the questions that I wanted to create a freebie to help teachers. With the permission of Margie Pearson (one of the authors) I was able to create this great FREEBIE.
Therefore I present to you........ Math Questions for Understanding.

Greg,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to create and share such an awesome resource. I was about to start on a similar idea, but you have made exactly what I need. If you don't mind, I would like to share it with the teachers in my school district, giving you the complete credit of course. Margie, your book is right on target with where we need to go in our math instruction! Donna, thank you for heading up this book study! I joined late, but am devouring the book and greatly appreciate everyone's insight.
Thank you! It warms my heart to be sharing my summer with such dedicated, passionate educators. That is dream come true to me!
DeleteThanks so much Kim. You can absolutely share! This would not have been possible without such a great book study. Margie thank you again for giving me permission to create this resource. Many educators and students will be blessed because of your generosity. It is so important that we are asking students the right kinds of questions throughout math instruction.
